To continue the day, we went to the Van Gogh Experience. I learned that Vincent Van Gogh had both schizophrenia and epilepsy and died at the age of thirty-seven. He didn’t die from cutting off his ear, but instead he shot himself after the death of his brother. Similarly, he enjoyed painting flowers due to the duration of life and how life and death cycle through and learned that “Sunflowers” is actually a series instead of just one singular painting!
